Hi all,

I use a Canon EOS 20D along with a Canon 24-70mm L series lens. I love the lens, i use it for a whole manner of different subjects and it does have small macro capability, but lately i've been thinking about trying my hand with closer, more magnified macro shots. What would be the best thing to use with my current setup to get in closer? Someone mentioned i could use rings between the lens and body? Can someone explain how this works and if its a good idea?

I know the Canon 100mm macro lenses are lovely too but i can't afford to buy one at the minute. It'll be early next year by the time i get around to getting one.
 
Cool thanks for that, thats put some light on things... I've just noticed about the possibilities of reversing the lens too. Now i really don't know what to try lol
 
Ok extention tubes it is, this way i can use them now with my 24-70 and with the 100mm macro when i get it.

I'm assuming auto tubes allow autofocus to work? Is there any point having autofocus with macro? or do you mean to allow changing the lens focal ratio?
 
Imagine seeing this face in a dark alley lol! Who spiked me? Well, its nearly a macro. Can't resist messing about. I can get a lot closer come to think of it so i'm looking for another subject :D
